All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[2.0.0] - 2026-08-23

Added

  • Persistent Global Navigation Header across all views with 1-6 numeric hotkeys (1: Models, 2: Dashboard, 3: Monitor, 4: Downloads, 5: Benchmark, 6: Settings) and bidirectional Tab / Shift+Tab and [ / ] cycling.
  • Persistent live hardware header telemetry displaying running server instance count and dynamic GPU VRAM meter.
  • Bento Card layout architecture across all screens with dynamic height clamping and vertical alignment.
  • 10 curated accessible themes (Dracula, Sunset, Nord, Cyberpunk, Forest, Monochrome, Solarized Light, Paper Light, and High Contrast WCAG AAA) with linear RGB gradient text and gauge rendering.
  • Interactive Theme Picker modal ([Y]) with live swatches and descriptions.
  • Non-intrusive floating toast notification system with ANSI compositing.
  • Real-time Log Streamer ([L]) with 250ms tailing, auto-scroll, regex filter ([/]), pause/resume ([Space]), syntax highlighting, and multi-instance tab switching ([Tab]).
  • 5-per-row Bento execution profile grid supporting up to 25 profiles with dynamic downward vertical expansion and 2D keyboard navigation ([←/→/↑/↓]).
  • Flash Attention enabled by default across all llama.cpp server invocations and profile presets (--flash-attn).
  • Quantized KV Cache support with --cache-type-k and --cache-type-v flags (f16, q8_0, q4_0, fp8).
  • Raw Custom CLI arguments field in profiles allowing arbitrary user-supplied arguments passed directly to llama-server.
  • Interactive 8-field Profile Creator and Editor supporting Name, Context, Threads, GPU Layers, Port, Flash Attention toggle, KV Quantization cycler, and Custom CLI Arguments.
  • Unrestricted profile deletion allowing removal of any custom or built-in default profile from disk.
  • Runtime version slots under llama.cpp/versions/<tag>/ enabling side-by-side installations, instant version switching, listing, and cleanup.
  • Release channel selector supporting Stable (vX.Y.Z releases) and Nightly (upstream continuous tags) with explicit backend selection (CUDA 12, CUDA 13, Vulkan, CPU, ROCm, Metal).
  • Multi-GPU enumeration, total VRAM aggregation, and TensorSplitAdvisor GCD integer ratio calculation (e.g. 24GB + 16GB + 8GB -> 3,2,1).
  • Physical CPU core vs logical thread topology detection across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Apple Silicon Metal piecewise unified memory curve (67% to 92%).
  • Multi-part GGUF shard auto-grouping (model-00001-of-00004.gguf) into consolidated single model entries with aggregate sizes.
  • Multi-directory model discovery scanning primary and secondary paths (Paths.ModelDirectories).
  • Headless CLI flags: --list-models (with --json), --status (with --json), --data-dir <path>, --models <path>, --version, --reset-onboarding.
  • Comprehensive behavioral test suite hardening with boundary condition and error recovery validation.

Changed

  • Refactored model browser, launch dashboard, server monitor, downloader, benchmarks, and settings to full-screen Bento card layouts.
  • Updated Settings screen left panel to clean component hierarchy: API Token, llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime, Runora App.
  • Improved onboarding wizard with an 86-cell wide layout to eliminate awkward line wraps and support direct API credential configuration.
  • Enforced strict zero emoji invariant across all views, headers, footers, badges, and notifications.

Fixed

  • Fixed Windows file lock race condition in atomic file writing by adding exponential backoff retry loops during high-concurrency renames.
  • Fixed invisible UTF-8 BOM headers in Go source files that prevented statement coverage profiling.
  • Fixed single-owner cmd.Wait() race conditions in process supervisor during multi-threaded instance termination.
  • Fixed download queue range resumption and .part file cleanup on cancellation or completion.

[1.1.1] - 2026-08-22

Added

  • Modular Theme Class architecture with CSS-variable-style semantic tokens and centralized stylesheet (global.css pattern).
  • Support for llama.cpp semantic versioning releases (vX.Y.Z) with automated nightly build tag resolution via nightly-tag.txt.
  • In-app configuration and environment variable support for GitHub API token (G hotkey) to increase release check limits from 60 to 5,000 req/hour.
  • Direct numeric hotkeys (1, 2, 3) to switch runtime focus in the Settings view.
  • Explicit inline available actions indicator for each runtime option card.

Fixed

  • Eliminated all hardcoded colors from UI components in favor of dynamic theme tokens.
  • Resolved lifecycle message channel cross-contamination between runtime engines and application update checks.
  • Resolved Windows CUDA asset matching for upstream continuous builds.
  • Fixed column vertical separator alignment in the Preferences and Hardware info panel.
  • Clean opening of Settings view without triggering automatic background downloads.
  • Improved GitHub API rate limit error detection and diagnostic feedback on 403 Forbidden responses.

[1.1.0] - 2026-08-22

Added

  • Multi-runtime abstraction architecture supporting both llama.cpp and ONNX Runtime engines.
  • Unified Lifecycle and Settings screen with component focus navigation using Tab and Arrow keys.
  • Universal action hotkeys for checking (C / Enter), updating (U / Space), and rolling back (R) runtime components.
  • Automated backup creation and rollback restoration for ONNX Runtime library installations.
  • Magic-byte archive format sniffing supporting ZIP, Nupkg, Tar.gz, and TGZ packages without relying on file extensions.
  • Support for searching and downloading .onnx model files directly from Hugging Face repositories.
  • Automatic configuration directory migration from legacy paths to the runora application directory.
  • Dynamic port allocation and socket collision mitigation for concurrent multi-model server instances.
  • Onboarding walkthrough tour and visual gradient theme switcher.

Changed

  • Rebranded project, Go module path, CLI command, and configuration namespace from llama-manager/llmgr to Runora/runora.
  • Streamlined settings footer keybindings into an intuitive unified layout.
  • Updated Hugging Face search filters to query both GGUF and ONNX format repositories.

Fixed

  • Fixed ONNX runtime installation error caused by unsupported .archive temporary file extensions.
  • Resolved race conditions in download task queue scheduling during concurrent model operations.
  • Resolved socket race condition during rapid sequential server deployments on identical ports.

[1.0.0] - 2026-08-20

Added

  • Core TUI model browser with real-time fuzzy search and model metadata inspection.
  • Hardware discovery engine detecting CPU, RAM, and GPU capabilities with VRAM estimation.
  • Custom launch profiles supporting custom context lengths, GPU layer offloading, and thread counts.
  • Integrated benchmark suite measuring token generation throughput and memory footprints.
  • Server monitoring dashboard displaying instance uptime, resident memory RSS, and status.
  • Hugging Face repository model downloader with pause, resume, and cancellation support.
